Good Mongolian but use the cheat sheets

I've been to several Mongolian BBQ's : Ann Arbor MI, Lawrence KS, Olathe KS , Spokane WA and maybe a few others. The best one was in Spokane where there was fresh salmon on the Mongolian. It was magnificent Mongolian BBQ.. The taste, flavor , freshness superb. What I found in that one and this one, there are cards and recipes that give you instruction and guidance concerning what ingredients, sauces and condiments go better with certain foods (chicken, beef, seafood etc) and what go best according to your tests. Like in Spokane and here, there are guides which I find help you taste the food and make for better Mongolian fare. Without that you have a mishmash of flavors that don't meld. If they don't integrate well it means your meal does not taste as good as it would be. In both this KC place and Spokane everything was fresh and had the guidance of what condiments to add. While I love to cook and make my own recipes, I found these Mongolian's the best I have visited. It might be why this place is packed quite often. It does have a good location but it is possibly the extra touch that brings out the best in the food. If you see a Chinese restaurants without the "cheat sheets" you might be a little disappointed. But at this place (and Spokane) they were mighty tasty. Try it but use the cheat sheets!

tasty Thai in Spokane

I came to this Spokane area twice to teach and do some consulting jobs. I was famished after the trip here and decided check out the area around the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to find this Thai place. And I came back again on my next trip too. It has a good buffet for a reasonable price. Good authentic beef, chicken and other dishes. Very authentic dishes and very tasty. Everything was well prepared and it was good to see that this place is still around. What I liked was that they listed the Thai names for the dishes besides the ingredients so you know what is in each dish. It also is a great way to search for the recipes when journeying home (in my case, back to Kansas). I also like the shops in the same building area to find gifts.
